fuel pressure gauges

Hey guys, I'm looking for ideas and perhaps pictures of in-cab FP gauge setups.

I purchased an autometer mechanical gauge with isolator.

Most use a gauge pod. Also, I'm not a fan of mechanical gauges at all. If that line rubs against something you are going to have a hell of a mess.

Under the hood won't do you any good. You need to read it while your driving to see the problem.

He means how to hook it up. The gauge he bought would go in the cab.

Yes, I'm looking for suggestions on mounting the isolator but the more I read I wonder if I should have got an electric gauge. The costs equal out but which one is more accurate and durable?

Go with electric IMO. Much safer than risking a leak. I think Trey had a vid up on YouTube, but there are two plugs in the rear of the fuel bowl. Upper driver side is pre filter, lower passenger side is post filter. Here's a pic from the top. The port already has the adapter installed, before uninstalled the sensor.
